Abstract
The challenges of the modern world accelerated the development of many fields of technology, including rehabilitation robotics. The focus of the robot-aided motor therapy is put on providing remote, home treatment. According to the conducted research, also, functional kinesiotherapy is a leading trend for the future. Therefore, designing a mechatronic device enabling such a workout is needed. The presented study is based on a concept of an upper extremity exoskeleton with free degrees of freedom. However, it is applicable for any exoskeleton with non-controlled joints. The paper corresponds to the problem of a control system for a not fully controlled robot; especially, as the mass parameters of the user’s limb remain unknown. Investigated prediction control is based on a recurrent neural network model of the system. The dynamics simulations are all performed without the usage of a physical device. Nevertheless, the outcomes of the trials prove, that such a control approach is suitable for the exoskeletons with free degrees of freedom. The results may be the base to adjust basic parameters of the neural networks used for similar applications.
